The vents in the frige constantly drip water so much so that I have 3 glasses in there to keep the water from getting on everything, and Ice keeps building up under the fan in the frost free freezer, and the temperature never stays consisnant

I think you may have some ice in the water line. That happened to me once, and I paid $125 to the repair man---who had me take everything out of the freezer. After I had done so, he plugged in a hand held hair dryer and thawed the line out.
After that, leak was gone and ice cube maker worked just fine.
Can't hurt to try!

There is a hose that comes down from the freezer to a pan at the bottom of the frige. It is for the moisture that would normally cause your freezer to frost up. This hose is clogged. The water normally accumulates in the pan, where a fan blows on in causing it to evaporate. So with nowhere to go, it is leaking out any place it can find. This also explains the temperature problem and the ice build up. Call a repairperson. The same thing happened to mine once.

I will suggest 1 thing, but if it's something else I would suggest you get a mechanic to repair it. Look in the inside back of the freezer there is a tube where the water comes in? ALSO there is a tube where the water drains when it is in defrost mode,
One or 2 screws is all that needs to be removed to take out the short piece of tube? make sure this tube is NOT stopped up with gunk? It might be best if you unplug it? just in case it's time for it to refill the ice tray. I don't want you to get your fingers caught in the freezer meckinasem?

The only thing I can think of is the magnetic door seal isn't doing it's job because there is a build up of mosture and possibly a mold there. Try to clean it off and the connection surface and see what happens then. I've had a few problems like that before and that seemed to work for me.

I am not 100% sure of this, but I have had this sort of problem before and it was all due to the fact that the freezer door did not seal properly.

First advance the screw on the defrost timer somewhere in the food compartment or outside according to the picture diagram on the back. The mode will click in telling you that it is in defrost. time it for 30 minutes, and it should kick back in, and if not , then thats your problem. also find and clear the drain hole at bottom and clear the drain tube leading to the drain pan.

the seal on the freezer door needs replaced. warm air is getting in causing condensation to build up. it drips and refreezes. call a repairman today and your problem is solved

drain is plugged, when your freezer defrosts it needs to run off water somewhere, when the drain is plugged it wont run off properly and builds ice

I would say the defrost cyle of the freezer part is broken.
